video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Security researcher and computer hacker Samy Kamkar is asked to explain the concept of computer hacking to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert. Samy Kamkar is a multidisciplinary engineer, security researcher, and cofounder of Openpath Security. He was raided by the US Secret Service and banned from computers for several years for computer hacking and now focuses on releasing open source security research and exploitation tools.

The main problem with software is that it's written by humans. Large/complicated codebases, by nature, will have sub-components minimally impact tested - simply because it's impossible to test the impact of each addition/component on every possible interaction/interaction chain. Windows 10/11, for example, is literally full of vulnerabilities just waiting to be found. The only way out of this is to have proper/fully evolved AI (not the 'pattern matching' 'AI' joke we have today) to program for us, and that's gonna take many years. Until then, assume your data is always vulnerable.

I think what he's talking about isn't electrostriction of the caps, but inductor whine. Electrolytic caps don't vibrate nearly enough in-circuit to generate actual audible noise, but inductors do. I could see a computer program being written that could conceivably reconstruct what the processor was doing based on the frequencies the inductors are buzzing at at any given moment. But of course to pull it off, you'd need physical access to the computer. And if you have that kind of access, there are probably more effective ways to steal data off it.

wow one 1 branch of government is making a tool and another is making a defence for that tool. the interesting part there is not that what the government is doing is counterintuitive (if I was designing both armor piercing bullets and bulletproof vests you would obviously see nothing wierd) it's that its two different agencies

crazy conspiracy theorists say that neutrino beams are used to affect the dna, but not as fault injection, the opposite, as a way to prevent harmful effects of vaccinations in humans (since the 80s) either we are nuts or the world is crazy? (fault injection with high energy particles? yes it is actually was not unheard of )

Hey that's a really cool mindset of a hacker, not necessary a software/ hardware but also a system hacker, btw I have seen a video about visualizing the wifi strength in sorr of a debugging buffer using some physics law. the cool concepts he mentioned is really cool and some of it were new to me

I feel very irritated in a fun way with having the two whatever it is behind him on the wall, that makes him look like a devil or alien or anntennae/sensors of an insect. I may have too much fantasy though. Lol. Once you try to make up things how he looks, it's limitless.

The most interesting part was the selection of background scenery for the experts. The host was all technical with a literal microscope in the background and the Canadian dude just goes with a completely white background. I love what he was all abowt!

Perhaps future AI could be used to check for a whole ream of vulnerabilities and to retrieve, store and analyse accessibility data. -
Regarding this video, it doesn-t look as though they stuck to the -one concept- parameter. Interesting though.

One thing I notice in these videos is that the children never have a 'listening face' XD. All the high school students to experts have a small smile, maybe acknowledging nods, or something, but the kids just stare intensely. It always makes me giggle

Him talking to the kid in the beginning, I frost started hacking wjen I was playing video games and I found I could change the code in a game so thst things that were hard for me became easier. Ohhh so your the one who ruined Warzone?
